Re: FLASH: Decrease size of Flash file

[sharon almeida]

Hi Kristopher,


You can save yourself a lot of bandwidth by dropping the music down to a

lower sample rate.  For projects on CD 22kHz is standard and 11 kHz is

standard for web playback.


You can experiment to see if 8 bit or 16 bit to see which sounds better. I

often use 8 bit for sound effects and 16 bit for music.


Some people have really great speakers on their PCs, but a lot of users have

the basic low-quality ones that came with their PC. Have you considered

offering a low-bandwidth version with low quality audio as well as a big bad

version with higher quality audio?


Good luck,

Sharon
